Hello so im searching the forums but i cant seem to find an answer to this but is there a way to check the album art for multiple albums at once? i have 12k files and some have art already and others don't is there a way to have the program automatically add the art for all the missing covers or would i have to manually go through to each album with no cover art and add it?

Yes.  
But you can filter for files that have no cover:  
%\_covers% MISSING  
(MP3tag does not know anything about albums)
